Supertramp - Crime Of The Century

Funnily enough I was listening to a rip of the Classic Records vinyl version of this earlier

For me a real opportunity missed only the Joe Henry trax save it from being a very poor effort.

2016 - Tidal...

A lot heavier and darker than their previous albums. The opening track is just a taste of things to come on the remaining tracks. The heavy guitar and anger reminds me of  Freedom (the album) by Neil Young. Solid lyrics and music  confirming their place as one of Americas best band at the moment.

Totally agree Tony.

I am listening to this on Tidal and realised I used to own it and what a fine album it is.

Some albums just seem to slip through your fingers and all you need is a gentle reminder. Thanks winky. (BTW my autocorrect keeps insisting I change 'winky' to 'wonky'. I have put my foot down however).

It's the 25th anniversary of this (moderately) significant (or perhaps just "interesting") record. It is actually quite good.

Superb bass player. Check out more of her work with Jeff Beck

Neil Young and Crazy Horse: Live Rust  Why?  It's Neil freaking Young!

Foo Fighters: There is Nothing Left to Lose  Why?  It just felt right.

Dead Can Dance: Toward the Within.  Why?  Nostalgia for how freaking amazing Chris Koster's active DBLs sounded in that old house on Prospect Street.  Absolutely stupendous.

Love - Forever Changes MFSL 45 rpm version. Loving this.

Tidal.  It's a little early for prog in my book but everyone's gone out so a chance for a loud blast.  Great album.

Just right for a Sunday morning, with the autumn sun streaming through the window and a nice cup of coffee.

That's strange; I was thinking the very same thing, having just lowered the stylus on Robert Plant's 'Picture At Eleven'. Just a bit different!

Yesterday's bargain arrival (thanks Clive).  CD rip.  Sounding very nice  indeed.

I'm glad you like it. I am completely hooked by that second track, 'Contemplation', but that's not to detract from the album as a whole, which is thoroughly absorbing. A bit different to your prog journey!

Next act, with old vinyl form grandparents... ;-))

Yesterday evening a bit too avantgarde in my opinion, but I will have a couple of other spins...
